This introduction to the object-orientation features of the R package sandwich is a (slightly) modified version of Zeileis (2006), published in the Journal of Statistical Software. Sandwich covariance matrix estimators are a popular tool in applied regression modeling for performing inference that is robust to certain types of model misspecification. Suitable implementations are available in th...

Carbon fiber-synthetic foam core sandwich composites are widely used for many structural applications due to their superior mechanical performance and low weight. Unfortunately these structures typically have very poor acoustic performance. There is increasingly growing demand in mitigating this noise issue in sandwich composite structures. This study shows that marrying carbon fiber composites...

The mechanical response and fracture of metal sandwich panels subjected to multiple impulsive pressure loads (shocks) were investigated for panels with honeycomb and folded plate core constructions. The structural performance of panels with specific core configurations under multiple impulsive pressure loads is quantified by the maximum transverse deflection of the face sheets and the core crus...

A sandwich problem for a graph with respect to a graph property Π is a partially specified graph, i.e., only some of the edges and non-edges are given, and the question to be answered is, can this graph be completed to a graph which has the property Π? The graph sandwich problem was investigated for a large number of families of graphs in a 1995 paper by Golumbic, Kaplan and Shamir, and much su...
